Red Bean Chili

Slow-cooker to the rescue! Once you’ve cooked the lean ground beef and onions, throw the remaining ingredients in your slow-cooker and it do all the work. Serve with cornbread on the side and a sprinkle of cheese on top.

What you’ll need:

2 pounds lean (93/7) ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

2 (15-ounce) cans light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 (12-ounce) can tomato juice

1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato soup

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

What you’ll do:

Cook the beef and onion over medium-high heat 10-12 minutes or until the beef is no longer pink.

Combine the beef and onion mixture along with the beans, tomato juice, tomato soup, chili powder, salt and pepper to the slow cooker.
